Democratic Party of Orange County

I am so excited, yesterday I had an interview for an internship with the Democratic Party of Orange County......and I got it! I am really excited because with it being an election year, there will be so much to do. It is going to be really busy starting late August and then all the way through the elections in November. One of the things they are focusing on is trying to have a Democratic beat the mayor of Huntington Beach who is a 20 year incumbent; so it would be huge to beat her. We will also be doing a lot of walks to try and get people to vote and participate in the politics of their city. The most exciting thing is if Obama wins the Democratic nomination--which it is looking like he will-- then he does a victory lap around to all the places that have been a help to him, sort of as a thank you. And the DCOP office is one of the places, so I will get to meet him and take a picture with him! Something that costs $2300 normally. I am so excited. I really hope that this provides me with insight to see if this is really something that I am interested in pursuing for my career. Also, I hope that maybe I will be a chance to meet people that could lead to potential paid positions; but right now I am just happy to have this great opportunity!
